Dr. Eli Rop, the founder of Sauti Ya Rehema Radio and TV Network, will be speaking Monday at Lamont Community Church, 14000 48th Ave., Coopersville.The event starts at 7 p.m.

SAYARE is an interdenominational Christian broadcasting network that brings Christian programming to millions through the use of television and radio in multiple languages and various indigenous languages.

Rop established the media network and a girls school in the heart of the Rift Valley, where he also pastors a church with several branches.

The girls school provides girls with an opportunity for an education outside of the influence of the regional culture of village living. Girls staying at the school are able to pursue an education that will enable them to escape the "plight of the girl child."

The program is part of the monthly GROWTH Ministry program held at the church by the husband and wife team of Donna and Jon Terpstra.
